lyrics

The men are marching on the square
It's on my skin, it's in my hair
It's in the air, it's in my lungs
Ah caesium 137

The siren sings it's warning song
Something's bad yeah, something's wrong
The plume of smoke straight to the heavens
Ah caesium 137

The chopper's blades cut through the air
The children are running through the square
The taste of metal in my gums
Ah caesium 137

Ah caesium 137

Ah caesium 137

One, two, one, two, three, four!
